ThoughtWorks Thailand is excited to welcome Neal Ford and Rebecca Parsons to Bangkok!

For many years, software architecture was described as "the parts that are hard to change later". But then microservices showed that if architects build evolvability into the architecture, change becomes easier. This talk, based on the recently published book Building Evolutionary Architectures co-authored by Neal and Rebecca, investigates how to build evolvable systems. The software development ecosystem exists in a state of dynamic equilibrium, where any new tool, framework or technique leads to disruption and the establishment of a new equilibrium.

Incremental change is critical for the mechanics of evolution, while uncontrolled evolution leads to undesirable side effects. Predictability is impossible when the foundation architects plan against changes constantly in unexpected ways. Instead, prefer evolvability over predictability. This session will illustrate how to achieve evolutionary architectures with engineering and DevOps practices to support continuous change, and how to retrofit existing systems to support better evolution.

- Learn how to build architectures whose important characteristics don't degrade over time

- Hear from experts about how to build architectures that support data and hypothesis-driven development.

- Learn how to build architectures that withstand change gracefully over time
